The current state is - assuming that the reader is a Yii-developer - fine by me (as a Yii-developer), but I was hoping there would be some chapters about custom modules, custom modules with separate autentication, autentication, RBAC and common Yii extensions just to name a few.

If possible, please advise the reader to create a sample app and check out the demos before reading the book

We are sorry to inform you that your pre-order for the book of “Yii 1.1 Application Development Cookbook” was automatically cancelled as the pre-order process did not go through correctly. We suggest that you place the order again in your account.

I was able to download it today at the Packt Publisher Site (Downloads in My Account). I guess it is the final version. What I have seen so far from the new Chapters is very promising. Well done, samdark

Exactly the same for me. And it charged my money.
I don't have a clue why, I asked for explanation from PackPub.
I am very disappointed now, not about the book, but about PacktPub: I payed for the item and they're just cancelling the order. I hope they're gonna fix it.

I also ordered the ebook and I can download that without any problems. For reading I prefer the paper book, though.
